Summary
The tourism sector is one of Indonesia's mainstays in generating foreign exchange. This is reinforced by the diversity of cultures and tribes that attract tourists to come. TCI calculations use several climate variables that are relevant to tourism activities, namely: 1) air temperature, 2) air humidity, 3) rainfall, 4) duration of solar radiation, and 5) wind speed. This method is designed for climate comfort studies for tourism in Europe. The results of the analysis based on the TCI method can be useful as one of the information on the schedule of visits for tourists with a low level of climate risk in carrying out tourism activities in Samosir Regency.
